Be the Couple that “Made It”
Smile at each other when you’re 80 and be proud to…
Everything you need to communicate like best friends,
flirt like honeymooners, and get through hard times together.

It’s safe to say no one wants to beg for love
As Phyllis from The Office says, “I think we all deserve to be with someone who wants to be with us."
But have you ever felt like you’re talking to a dang brick wall when trying to communicate with your partner?
No one wants to beg their spouse for attention. For communication. For sex. For anything.
And there’s certainly no one thinking, “I love it when my significant other ignores my feelings. It makes me feel validated."
We’re gonna be blunt…
It sucks when the good morning messages stop coming. When you stop stealing kisses while you’re in public. When you don’t look forward to your spouse coming home. When they’re always glued to their phone.
You’re frustrated because you’re the only one trying to make the relationship work. And sometimes you look at your significant other and think...
“Is this seriously as good as it gets?”
*takes partner by the shoulders and profusely shakes them*
You’re wildly unfulfilled and constantly wanting more out of your relationship.
Your faith has been on the back burner and you desire a deeper spiritual connection with your spouse.
You’re discouraged because it feels like living with a roommate, not your lover.
You might even be unhappy about the frequency of sex. You're so used to rejection, you don't even bring it up anymore.
You’re sick of seeing dreamy TikTok couples because you’ve tried everything and nothing gets you closer to being happy. You’re starting to wonder if marriage was the right move.
If you're like the old Jenna & David, you feel defeated. You're disagreeing more, spending less time together, and feeling stuck.
If your marriage continues down this path, it won’t last.
And that’s exactly what the enemy wants.
But you already know that.
According to Forbes, 43% of first-time marriages end in divorce. However, couples who implement therapeutic tools in their marriage see a 70% success rate.
Ummm excuse me…70%?! Put me in, coach!!!
But how do you become a couple who can look back, smile at their life and say, “Baby, we made it” when you’ve tried everything and nothing works?
Or worse, when you’ve been taught that praying, reading the Bible, and going to church “should be enough” to fix your marriage...Ugh!
Or even worse worse…when your partner’s checked out and you’re doing it alone 🫠
No wonder you’re exhausted.
Here's the cold hard truth:
The Answer?
You get the right tools in your pocket and you implement them. Plain and simple.
Now, let's back up a sec before you gasp and come at us for suggesting you might need to do more than just check the spiritual boxes above. Explanation incoming…
Sometimes you need Jesus and psychology.
And that doesn’t mean you’re any less of a Christian or human if you do.
Proverbs even says “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.”
Chef’s kiss right there☝🏻 Need we say more?!
Bible-backed psychology tools WORK.
They are 100% proven to improve your marriage.
As Chandler from Friends said:
“I thought this was going to be the most difficult thing I was ever going to have to do, but I realized how simple it is. I love you. Any surprise that comes along the way is OK because I will always love you.”
…You just have to find the right tools. Then, give your relationship a chance to love each other through all life's surprises.
THAT is how you wake up when you’re 80, roll over to the love of your life, and realize you are still married to your best friend.
GIVE ME THE TOOLS
We almost ended in divorce.
We used to fight like reality TV stars and avoid alone time together like the plague. We’d call each other names that warranted more than one bar of soap in the mouth and we were keeping secrets from each other.
We’d blame the other person for our issues and never take accountability for our faults. David was losing his temper and paid more attention to fantasy sports and video games than Jenna.
Jenna didn't pursue David intimately and eventually stopped being affectionate with him at all. Instead, she started seeking attention from other people because she wasn't getting it at home.
We’re best friends now, but…
We were both waiting for the other person to change.
But neither of us did anything to make it better– we didn't go to counseling, get involved at church, or do anything to learn what a healthy relationship actually looked like.
We were even falling away from our faith. And that was the final wake-up call that we “knew” we weren’t gonna make it.
At the lowest point when finally discussing divorce, we agreed we couldn’t live like this anymore. So we sought professional help and started studying God’s way of marriage– because our way was an absolute dumpster fire.
We buckled down and started implementing every therapeutic technique and Biblical principle…
Each option alone wasn't enough. The key to reviving our dead marriage was having both the therapeutic tools and the Biblical knowledge.
We also realized that to get somewhere in your relationship, you have to understand your partner's origin story. That means knowing about their past, their family, and what gives them the ick. Then understanding how it all impacts your relationship. When you do, you'll begin seeing things more clearly and can start working together to fix stuff.
Once we did that, loving each other became easy, we fought less, communicated a heck of a lot better– and we could finally say we felt happy…and we still are!
Here's what we learned:
I'm just a regular dude, here to show you that you don’t need to be a pastor or have fancy degrees to have a thriving, faith-filled marriage. We can all be “a student of marriage.” After spending years perfecting my golf swing through YouTube videos and studying for my fantasy sports drafts, I realized that I could probably be a great husband, too, if I put that same kind of effort into my marriage. So I did! Now I'm the spiritual leader of our home … and a reigning fantasy sports champion ;)
Meet David
I've been a therapist for over 10 years, helping people improve their mental health and relationships. I'm also a bit of an overthinker, and I've got award-winning dry humor- just ask my favorite person, David. But here's the thing: I wasn't always easy on him. I wasn’t always the greatest wife. And there was a time when I wasn’t practicing what I preached and it took a wake-up call for me to realize that. I needed to take my faith more seriously and implement the skills I learned in school to get our marriage back on track. That's when it hit me: others need this, too. So, I started combining Christianity and Psychology to help my clients make their marriage the best it can be.

Meet Jenna & David
What if you could learn *exactly* what you need for an “I can’t believe it’s this good” marriage in a single day?
Cause let’s be honest…Not everyone has the money or time to attend couples counseling weekly for months. And maybe you don’t even need it– you simply need the skills and godly wisdom marriage requires.
You’ve realized that podcasts, inspirational IG accounts, and self–help books can only take you so far.
You might feel shame that your relationship is in a bad spot and may be too embarrassed to ask for help (been there done that!) And you've likely been told that Jesus is the only way and you shouldn't need outside help if you're trusting Him.
We’ve been there. And we suffered for years so you don’t have to.
That's why we created a binge-worthy course that combines the tools you'd get from a marriage counselor with Biblical principles to give you that on-fire-for-Jesus, head-over-heels-in-love relationship you're craving.
…And pssst– it’s proven to work whether you take it alone or with your spouse. *squeals in excitement*
An online course made by a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist where you’ll learn proven tools to peacefully resolve conflict, feel deeply connected, communicate effectively,
and love each other the way God intended (even when you don’t feel like it).

What if my marriage is already doing great? Will this benefit us?
I am new to faith. Will this be too confusing for me?
Does this work for long-distance relationships?
What if I’m unhappy with the course? Can I get a refund?
Q
YES! We love CMA because it’s for married couples, engaged couples, and singles who want to marry. If you’re not married yet, this will help you build the right foundation for when you find your spouse.
ANDDDD, CMA comes with an extra packet. It rephrases the questions and tweaks the activities for the whole course. We designed it to fit those who are single, dating, or engaged. This ensures that you won’t feel left out. You also won't find any parts, questions, or activities to be irrelevant. For example, even the sex lesson adjusts the questions for single people. Singles can still learn and use the information!
What if I’m not married, can I still take the marriage course?
Q
The course is completely self-paced, so it’s up to you! You can binge them in a single day or do a little each day. You’ll get over 6 hours of video training, but keep in mind, when you do the discussion questions and activities, it will take longer than 6 hours. We designed it to fit any lifestyle, so you’re in charge.
How long does it take to complete the online marriage course?
Q
Nope. Many people have taken it without their partner. Their partner didn’t want to do it, was too busy, etc. The course will be impactful for couples and individuals. But, for the MOST impact, we do recommend you take it as a couple.
Do we need to take Christian Marriage Academy together as a couple?
Q
Not necessarily. The course has many proven therapy tools made by a Licensed Family and Marriage Therapist. If you’re not a Christian or share those beliefs, you’ll still get a lot from the psychology in the training. However, the course is based on biblical principles. You will notice a strong theme of biblical references.
Is the course only for Christians?
Q
CMA is here to help you improve your marriage, period. It can help whether you're going through tough times or just want to make it better. It's for couples who feel stuck. It's also for those who simply want to dig deeper into what the Bible says about marriage. You learn practical tips from a therapist to make your relationship strong.
Does my relationship/marriage need to be in trouble to take CMA?
Q
God always has something more in store for us. If you want to grow closer to God and strengthen your bond with your spouse, then yes! This course combines psychology and Christianity in a unique way. It gives your marriage a special set of skills that few couples have!
What if my marriage is already doing great? Will this benefit us?
Q
We created CMA to be clear for everyone. It doesn't matter where they are on their walk with Christ, or if they are just considering following Jesus. We break it down to the basics, especially for marriage. But, we will also mix it with therapy principles, so it will be new and interesting for the seasoned believer, too.
I am new to faith. Will this be too confusing for me?
Q
Yep! If you both need access to the course but are not in the same household, we are happy to make the course accessible to couples in long-distance relationships on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to us if this is your specific situation so we can make accommodations. PS: We have had two couples take CMA long distance so far and they both said taking the course together while apart was a great way for them to stay connected!
Does this work for long-distance relationships?
Q
Jenna has worked with hundreds of singles and couples in private sessions; we are confident that if you implement the strategies inside of CMA, you will see positive change in your relationship. For this reason, we do not offer refunds under any circumstances.
